Hey, everyone. Welcome back to Open. My next guests are husband and wife, CEO, born in the Bronx with deep Puerto Rican roots as veteran educators. They wanted to reconnect their children to the island for which their families had migrated for many years ago. For years back, they decided to embark on a 22-day adventure to visit all 78 placitas or town plazas on the island. Their emotional experience documenting the simple beauty of each town plaza became the inspiration for the book, The Road of the 78 Prayers, a pilgrimage, sorry, excuse me, a pilgrimage home to Puerto Rico. And here to tell us more about their amazing journey are the authors of The Road of the 78 Prayers, Dr. Miguel David Gelpie, and Lorraine Patiz Gelpie. Hello, and welcome. Hello, good morning, thanks for having us. Thank you for having us. Thank you for being here, and thank you for this lovely book. I mean, I just introduced the inspiration behind it somewhat, but I do want to open up by sharing with our viewers how you even presented yourselves in my cipher. And that is having this book delivered to the studio and gifted to me without knowing who had left it for me. And so I understand there's like a purpose behind that. So if you would be so kind to share like, what I guess compelled you to gift me this book?
